Beyond the mat, the journey continues.
At Svabodha, we believe that healing also lives in joy, beauty, and wonder. That’s why, alongside our yoga and meditation practices, we offer heart-opening excursions to places that stir the soul.
Swim in hidden lagoons and tranquil seas.
Sit under ancient banyan trees whose roots have witnessed centuries.
Wander through timeless temples, whispering stories of devotion.

These adventures are not just outings—they are part of the retreat itself. Because one of the most powerful medicines we can receive... is a truly beautiful memory.

Ankur Saini
Rashmi brings the heart of yogic philosophy to life —
not with complexity, but with clarity.
Her rare gift lies in making profound concepts feel simple, relatable, and alive in your own practice.
With deep respect for the body — yours and hers —
she gently guides you to listen, feel, and move
with intention.
Morning classes with Rashmi feel like sunlight on your skin: soft, warm, and awakening something within you.
Her presence inspires, her words land deep, and her teaching stays with you long after the mat is rolled up.
A teacher you’ll remember — and want to return to.
